Liam Payne dead at 31 (One direction)

Perhaps naively I thought people growing up in music might be doing a little better these days with the awareness of mental health etc, and recognition of challenges around drugs.

It's no age.
 
happens in all walks of life its just bigger news if it happens to a celeb

Yup, I had a friend who ended it all after a bad breakup with his girlfriend. No one knew, I mean obviously, people knew he'd split up with her but he was obviously struggling a lot more than he'd let on, people with severe depression etc.. are able to mask it.

It seems like perhaps a similar trigger may have been a factor in this case too sadly.

You just reminded me of a distant memory, 45 odd years ago, a friend of mine, great lad, committed suicide for the same reason, breakup with his girlfriend.

RIP :(
 
While I dont really have an opinion one way or another, what I find sad, is on the radio its all about him as a musician and artist, yet on the various 'news' websites its all about how he was troubled and struggled with drink and drugs and was abusive to his ex-girlfriends, the guys still warm and yet some of the things you see being put out there are just in bad taste IMHO...

Wonder why, when things like this come out less than 24h after someone dies there's a lack of compassion, why primarily guys, take their own lives rather than reaching out to someone....
 
RIP
